This Planet's Day Is Longer Than Its Year

The Solar System consists of the Sun and eight planets. These planets in accordance to their closeness to the Sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

A day on planet Venus is longer than a year there. Venus is the second closest planet to the Sun. All the planets revolve the sun in the same direction. The time taken for a planet to revolve around the sun is a year. The planets also rotate round the Sun in the same direction except Uranus and Venus.

Subsequently, the time taken for each planet to complete a rotation on its axis is a day.

A day on Venus is 243 Earth days while a year there is 225 Earth days. This is because this planet's rotation around its axis is very slow compared to other planets resulting into a day longer than its year.

Another amazing fact about this planet is that the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east because it rotates in a direction opposite the other planets excluding Uranus.
